Thu, 05 Jul 2007 08:43:57 +0000. I am the manager of a backpackers hostel in Barranco, Lima. Once again I would like to stongly suggest everyone arriving in Lima to prebook your airport transfer with your accommodation! The 'official' airport taxi business is close to mafia.
How long can or does the HIV virus remain dormant in the Human Body before it becomes AIDS virus? For the majority of patients who have HIV, the dormancy period lasts about 10 years. About 10 percent to 20 percent of patients progress to having AIDS within 5 years. It is estimated that another 5 percent to 10 percent of patients will not reach the AIDS phase for more than 15 years.
How long does HIV take to show up is based on the time in which the infected personâs body produces antibodies of the infection. The antibodies may start developing in the person after 25 days from the time the infection enters, but how long does HIV take to show up may take longer. There are various tests available for HIV, like the antibodies test to detect HIV antibodies and the other is RNA for the virus itself.
